Missy’s Gift Author: Jerry Hobbs
Publisher:
ISBN: 978-1-4116-8822-3
 Like most rural families in the mountains of western North Carolina during the 1800’s, the McDeens were proud, hardworking and honest. None of them could have known how their lives would change when Doc Crawford sends a mysteriously scarred, young Cherokee woman out to their place to live. Years later when a stranger is found hiding in the barn, they learn the family’s very existence is threatened when Missy is forced to reveal her past.
This story takes the reader back to the infamous Trail of Tears and continues beyond the Civil War and its bloody aftermath. It tells of the births, deaths, happiness and sorrows that have given the family strength and brought them closer together. The question is, are they strong enough to survive this new and greatest danger? This book is available through www.lulu.com, ID: 210311
